There are a few ways in which you can approach stress in a healthy manner.

It is very easy to feel overwhelmed when facing stressful situations. After all, this is simply human nature. This is why breathing is crucial in stressful situations. You may not know this but stress can actually have a negative physical impact on you. This may be in the form of headaches, stomach issues, and even sweating. The best and first thing that you should do is to be mindful of your breathing. This may be hard at first but you have to try. It is best to count your breathing as this will give you more control. Focusing on your breathing will also allow you to think of the situation more clearly.

This leads up to the next tip. When facing a stressful situation, you tend to not think clearly. This is because your mind is racing to find solutions. However, finding a solution to your issue at the moment may not happen especially in your state. Having a clear mind will allow you to look at the situation from a different angle which will in turn allow you to come up with a more thought-out approach. Lastly, we know that some stressful situations are simply bigger than yourself. Therefore speaking or even venting to someone can be a major help.
